<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2058189, member: 22331&quot;]I believe, that to the contrary, the accuser would need to absolutely prove the product to be an illegitimate &quot;copy&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>This would close the current dilemma which is often seen, where unqualified individuals are quick to accuse without qualifying proof. This Federal legislation would require an accuser to provide &quot;without a&nbsp; reasonable doubt&quot; proof of criminality unless the accused can be directly &quot;linked&quot; to a previously proven illegal source.</p><p><br /></p><p>This Federal legislation finally requires accusers to justify their claims in a possibly defamatory unsupported action</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally have acquired a quality rare &quot;Double Eagle&quot; that I &quot;felt&quot; wasn&#039;t authentic. It was perfect in every respect, by weight, dimensions, Gold tested content, attributes. I shared the coin with every individual I respected who I thought qualified to judge. Intelligent individuals stated they didn&#039;t know authenticity. Others stated not authentic without credible reason. The coin was eventually submitted to &quot;top tier&quot; TPG, returned as &quot;questionable authenticity&quot;, as I would/could legally defend.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the legislation is well written as it seemingly places guilt on an individual who buys or sells an unmarked proven &quot;copy&quot; coin, regardless of known condition. Having been involved in successful federal prosecution, I know that the prosecutorial agents expend great effort to assure that their cases are virtually flawless, generally with voluminous files showing repeated violations. From my experience, years of investigative/depositional &quot;finding&quot; efforts may transpire before an action is formally initiated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that because of the burden of proof for Federal prosecution, and the mandatory minimum sentences, the Congress/President have responded to verbal pressure, now mandating private sector proof/evidence for their action.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
